Wow, that's a technique we haven't seen much of. I guess the thousands of bankers/princes of Nigeria are getting desperate!
I'm glad your Spidey sense alerted you.
I just had a call from a non native English speaker saying that their company servers have detected a "virus" or something being sent from my computer to their servers. They asked me to type some instructions into my windows "run" line (event***). When I said I would not do that the man called me a "bloody mother f*****" and then promptly hung up.
The noise in the background sounded like a call center, plenty of activity.
Do not follow these instructions or fall for this ploy. I tried calling the number back that was on my caller id and it was disconnected.
It's a SCAM.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.

Thanks for the alert!

They were doing that in Australia for a while too, I've had maybe half a dozen of those calls over the last 4-5 years. I believe at one point they discovered many of these scams were being run out of a Microsoft contracted call center (that lost it's contract after of course.
I used to just say "I don't have a computer though" in a confused voice. That worked every time.
